Hi
I am looking for an example of a kickstart file for a simple, minimal
server install. I don't need any graphical apps just ssh, httpd and
development tools. It seems that even when I specify only the
packages I want many other packages are installed making the install
very large. Any links to guides or example kickstart files would be
great.
I'd suggest grabbing the CentOS server install CD from your favorite
mirror (for example:
ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/centos/4.4/isos/i386/CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-i386.iso)
Then install this on a piece of hardware, customizing during install
as you see fit. When the install is complete, you'll find a kickstart
file in root's home directory called ananconda-ks.cfg representing the
choices you made during install.
Either use that directly or tweak further to your needs.

And the list of rpm files that are installed are in the install.log file.
For full control, you might consider only loading the base group (the
default),
and then creating your own minimal group with "mandatory" directives in
CentOS/base/comps.xml once you figure out the set of rpm's you require.
